Perhaps your readers may be interested in a lovely prayer to Our Blessed Mother, which was an 'any time, any place' quick orison, popular among Dominican rite seminarians in earlier times:

Recordare, Virgo Mater, dum steteris in conspectu Dei, ut loquaris pro nobis bona, et ut avertas indignationem suam a nobis.

'Indignationem' is, of course, pronounced [EEN-DEEN-YAHT-SEE- OH NEM].
